Resumen:
Results from UBV and DDO photometry are presented for 54 high-luminosity
late-type stars in the fields of 23 open clusters. The probability of
cluster membership for each observed star is evaluated using two
independent photometric criteria. It is found that 32 stars are very
likely cluster members, the remaining ones being almost certainly field
objects. The recently improved calibrations of the DDO system have been
used to derive MK spectral types, effective temperatures, and
metallicities, while E(B-V) color excesses have been determined through
known photometric and spectroscopic procedures. The DDO metallicities
range between values typical of moderately metal-poor ([Fe/H]=~ -0.3) to
moderately metal-rich ([Fe/H] =~ 0.2) clusters. The masses of the
cluster giants range between 1 and 4 solar masses, with the scatter
within a cluster being less than 1 solar mass.
